A Mes rate. Tap at Paradise Fest.
I was amazed to find I’d not rated this one. I drink it in Quinns while watching the Mighty Reds regularly. Thank god for an iPhone in the middle of Grand Place madness. Hazy amber with an impressive white head. Excellent balance of herbal hoppage and sweet caramel yeast. Good citric notes up front and some excellent spice. Typical Bernie character. Superbly made. Great stuff and effortlessly drinkable. I was chatting to some new and very random friends. I nearly nailed this before I had even started rating!

330ml bottle, as pictured. Bottle-conditioned dubbel pours a hazy copper with a huge, fluffy off-white head. Good retention, decent lacing. Aroma is of yeast, malt and citrusy hops, with some alcohol peeping through. Medium carbonation, smooth but tickling mouth feel. Taste is grapefruit, roasted malt and a wee bit of aniseed. Not too sweet, with a nicely bitter-and-sour hoppy finish. Slightly alcoholic after taste, but not too obtrusively (particularly compared to some other abbey dubbels and tripels). For an abbey dubbel, this brew appears to be rather refreshing and sessionable - not too dangerously so, at 6.2 % abv. Quite delicious, and not too heavy. Will drink again.

bottle - poured a torbid toffee color, creamy head. Aroma prunes, raisins, dates and spice, hint of alcohol. The flavor is more of the same with the spiciness increasing as the beer warms, the finish was just a bit more bitter than I would have expected. Good dubbel.

Pours a deep dark hazy brown with a large light brown head. Aroma is candi sugars, yeasts, fruits, rasins, spices. Flavor is yeasts, rasins, fruit, a little roastiness, candi sugar, spices, caramel. Not overly sweet, and very carbonated. Decent Dubbel.

I don’t drink a lot of Dubbels, so I’m compairing this to the American Ales that I am more familiar with. Nice carbonation, and good aroma. The flavor is a little sweet for my taste, but i drank this right from the store. I imagine it would balance out with age.

Bottle. Pours a lightish copper with a lasting beige head and lots of chunky sediment. Aroma is malty and a little boozy, with notes of toffee, raisins and sweet spice. Flavour is reasonably sweet, but nicely balanced, and has brown sugar, dark fruits, cola, citrus and more sweet spice. Mouthfeel is excessively carbonated but aside from that this is a very good dubbel and another great beer from the fantastic St. Bernardus brewery.

Flaske: Mørkebrun uklar øl med masser af klumper i. Krydret sødlig duft. Dejlig spids på tungen med en rigtig god smag. Dejlig lille øl.

Very hoppy, smells rank. Hard on the stomach but once you get passed that there are some interesting flavors, sweet. Cinnamon perhaps.
